Sometimes that can be of benefit when you see a slightly different phrase marking than you normally play. In the case of this excerpt, the original H horn would be on the stand to make certain you can play it as originally written. I know the original question was about transposition for this solo but there are several excerpts from the Symphony that are regularly asked including the opening, the restatement of theme after the repeat, the first horn solo starting around 440 (close to the end of the first movement) or so and the H horn solo in question. Two additional points; yes like some other excerpts (opening to the Brahms second conc.) in the literature, the way you play it will be a roll of the dice in terms of phrasing. I would say for the opening solo commit to either a 2 bar or 3 bar phrase and play it such that what you intend comes across and makes perfect sense to the listener. Secondly, the H horn section in question is marked as solo but in actuality the first 2 bars are a solo than you are playing with the bassoon and the rest of the winds, adjust accordingly.
